Hen or Rooster?

[JoshR]

I have a 5 week old Easter Egger, but I don't know if its a Hen or Rooster. I'm thinking that its a Hen.

That is a pretty chicken!


Its really hard to tell EE roosters from hens. The comb is pretty bright for a hen, but I heard that EEs have a different shape to their comb which I don't see in the pictures.

Sorry I couldn't be more of a help.

Yeah. I heard that EE were hard to tell what gender they are. Here are a couple more pictures. I tried to get a better angle of the comb.

Thanks. I'll check that out. How old would you say the chick should be before I know for sure what gender it is?

I also have a hen that is starting to sound like a rooster can anyone tell me if she is a he??

 

[Zajac chicken]

Not sure how old she is I found it on the side of the road a few weeks ago

 

[GitaBooks]

I'm glad you gave her a helping hand!

However, I think she might be a he.
